Schools

Everywhere you look, big things are happening at Florida’s public schools. Student achievement is rising, graduation rates are improving and the achievement gap is shrinking. The Florida Department of Education takes an active role in ensuring students have a variety of education options that help prepare them for success in college, career and life.

The mission of this office is to lead statewide efforts to close the achievement gaps affecting students whose educational opportunities may be limited, to increase awareness among parents and other community members about public school options and to ensure all students are well-served.
